BUSINESS FEATURE 

In the heart of Port Douglas, just behind the iconic Courthouse Hotel lies a hidden treasure that has been serving the community for over 20 years. Beau Gentry Men's Store, a quiet achiever in the local retail scene, continues to provide locals and visitors alike with fashion-forward, quality items and drawing people to its somewhat secret laneway home.

As the name suggests, Shortcut Lane was originally devised as a bypass however, thanks to the introduction of high-calibre retail and beauty services, it has become anything but. Beau Gentry has been in operation since the lane’s inception in 2002, providing a little taste of Europe to our rural town. 

Beau Gentry owner, Phil Dobbs said discovering the laneway is all in a good day out in Port Douglas. “You know the feeling when you’re in Italy and you wander down an unassuming laneway and discover the best shops, that’s what we are here,” he described.

More than just another menswear store, Beau Gentry provides Port Douglas with exclusive fashion items direct from Europe thanks to the owners strong connection with international providers - relationships he has built over his many years in the business.

The store itself is a vibrant haven of colours showcasing the impressive collection of clothing and accessories which greet you from the moment you step through the doors. 

The influence of European menswear is evident throughout the store, with styles hailing from fashion hubs like Italy, Germany and Spain and global brands such as Hugo Boss, Paul and Shark Yachting and Brax. But it’s the commitment to affordability without compromising on quality that sets the store apart. 

A consistent sales rack sees prices of quality items starting at significantly reduced prices, Beau Gentry staff member Sue Noonan iterates there is something to suit every shopper. “Whether you’re in town for a wedding and need a new outfit, going on a cruise or a local in need of a wardrobe freshening up, I can guarantee you’ll find it here” she said.
